I first heard of block-chains in 2013/2014, was then attracted by the concept of Ripple, and there's where I had spent most of my pass-time during past three years. And there's where I started using 'ripplerm' as my identity in crypto worlds.
I had once launched a virtual gateway on RCL (Ripple Consensus Ledger) named Ripple Dividend, through which some dividend-paying-IOUs were issued, for the objective of pooling capital from community to form several Market-making Funds. It's a great experience to see how public confidence could be built on transparent operation, albeit I had been staying anonymous through out the time.
Then I had been developing a wallet-UI for RCL which allow non-techy users to access some advanced features. The project is open-source: https://github.com/ripplerm/ripple-wallet
Was away from cryptocurrency world for a several months during first-half of 2016. When I came back later, the new things that catch my attention was Etherum, and Steem... These might be places that i might be hanging around for next months, or years.
During past few months I'd been working on creating a gateway to bridge Steem into RCL... the codes had been test-running for several weeks, and hope can be launched soon to help increase exposure of STEEM and SBD into the distributed exchanges markets.
